Upon seeing those two completely motionless "corpses" in the pile of monsters, Riveria, as the vice-captain, immediately felt her brain suffer an unprecedented shock, even more excessive than a certain god sneak-attacking and groping her!
Who are Hyacine and Barbara?
They are the Deliverers who have just become famous throughout Orario in the last two days, and they have directly joined the Loki Familia.
Almost all of Orario, and even all of humanity in the world, are waiting for the seeds of these Deliverers to take root and sprout, one day growing into towering trees that protect the world.
But what about now?
Looking at those two limp, collapsed arms amidst the pile of monsters, Riveria deeply felt her dereliction of duty, as well as the crisis the Loki Familia was about to face...
Even putting everything else aside, the impact on their reputation alone would be enough to give them a hard time. News like "The newly born Deliverers were allowed to die by the Loki Familia" would surely spread across the world, leading the Loki Familia to utter ruin.
The level of crisis was no less than letting a protected animal die under your watch—straight to prison for life!
"Move, quickly!"
"Save them!"
Riveria's mental strength was indeed powerful; she made a judgment the instant she saw the scene. No matter what the Loki Familia had to face next, one thing had to be done first: recover the bodies of Hyacine and Barbara.
If they couldn't even manage that, the Loki Familia wouldn't be able to show their faces in Orario anymore.
Riveria herself was naturally not suitable, because as a High Elf Magician, it would be easy to accidentally damage the girls' bodies. So, she left this task to the warriors.
Aiz's indifferent eyes immediately became serious, and a cyan breeze wrapped around her body as she flew straight toward Hyacine's position.
Bete the werewolf's expression became ferocious, his eyes filled with murderous intent toward the monsters, but he still prioritized rushing to Barbara's position.
The Amazon sisters, Tione and Tiona, swung their weapons and charged directly into the monster swarm, preparing to slaughter everything in sight while covering Aiz and Bete.
It was clear that the Loki Familia was indeed a very united existence. There was almost no communication; relying solely on a single command from Vice-Captain Riveria, they had already allocated all the tasks.
Got them!
Aiz and Bete grabbed the girls' hands at the same time, pulled them out of the monster pile with a forceful tug, and brought them to Riveria's side at top speed.
"Leave them to me. You go finish off the monsters."
Riveria's command brooked no refusal, as they were already over a dozen floors deep into the Dungeon, and the monsters there were not weak.
In their eyes, these monsters posed a great threat to Hyacine and Barbara—at the very least, they were beings capable of killing them!
"Understood."
Fury seemed to burn in Aiz's pupils; she hadn't expected the companions who had just joined a day ago to be gone like this. But Bete was even more terrifying...
"Those two useless fools! Did they think they could be reckless just because they're Deliverers? To be beaten into this state by monsters... I actually have to be the one to avenge them!"
Although this werewolf had a foul mouth, he was the fiercest fighter when a companion got hurt. Simply put, he was a tsundere.
Even the other members of the Loki Familia began to look at these monsters as if they were already corpses, as if saying...
"Monsters, you dare harm our companions, harm the Deliverers of this world... You have already found your path to death!"
"Die, die, die—!"
Under the attacks of several First-Tier Adventurers, these monsters were cleared out like chopping melons and vegetables.
No one cared about the magic stones falling on the ground; instead, they slaughtered the monsters in the most terrifying and bloody ways, as if venting the frustration in their hearts.
The area soon turned into a living hell, with the blood of dying monsters splashed everywhere. Anyone stumbling upon it would have thought an unprecedented disaster had occurred here.
However, when the combat members returned to Riveria's side, what they saw was not a solemn expression, but rather a Riveria who looked helpless, speechless, and even quite angry.
"What were you thinking, using monster attacks to increase your Endurance? Are you not afraid of death?"
Sorry, with resurrection available, we really aren't afraid.
Despite the truth, Hyacine and Barbara naturally couldn't admit it, and could only apologize to the 'Mama' of the Loki Familia.
"Sorry, Riveria... we made everyone worry."
"We wanted to live up to everyone's expectations and were desperate to get stronger quickly, so we used this method. We're truly sorry..."
Looking at the two girls apologizing earnestly and their completely invisible "injuries," Riveria finally sighed and chose to forgive them.
"I understand. After we go back this time, you won't be allowed in the Dungeon for a while, and..."
"You must never use this method to increase your Endurance again, understood?"
"We understand..."
Only after noticing that Hyacine and Barbara had truly healed themselves completely did Riveria heave a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, nothing happened to them; otherwise, even Finn, that calculating Dwarf, probably wouldn't have been able to find a way to resolve the situation.
Luckily, this farce was over!
Everyone's faces were written with exhaustion. Furthermore, Hyacine and Barbara's healing level was indeed high; even after being besieged by so many monsters, not a single scar remained on their bodies—everything had been healed.
"What impressive healing abilities... In the future Loki Familia, I suppose very few people will suffer heavy injuries, right?"
If the future Riveria were to see this sentence, she would probably slap her current self hard. After all, such flags are not to be planted lightly.
On the other hand, the girls' expressions were somewhat dejected. They didn't seem to have gained a large amount of Endurance as expected; instead, they had taken a beating for nothing, and the increase in their stats was minimal.
In the end, when they saw their companions coming over, they could only huddle in place and play dead, not daring to face them at all.
Otherwise, the ones finding their path to death wouldn't be those monsters, but them.
"As expected, being a warrior isn't for us."
"Without a skill like 'Liaris Freese' to boost growth speed, we probably can't match Bell's leveling speed from the original work..."
"We really should just stick to being Healers!"
Don't be fooled by Hyacine and Barbara appearing to have done nothing; the data for their salvation mission had already reached 1024.
However, just after the Loki Familia members left the Dungeon, a red figure suddenly emerged from a corner. She looked toward Hyacine and the others and murmured.
"A familiar wind... but it doesn't seem to be her..."
